We publish elsewhere the prospectus 4of the Temperance Advocate, and take Seasure in calling the readers' attenti, to it, and also in commending it hearthiy xq an AvvocATc worthy of a wide and i.>eral patronage. Mr. Frank Board, its projector, is taking an early start in the iuties and responsibilities of journalism, but though so young in years, he has the -vill, the energy and the ability to carry 'is idea through to a success. We feel a d-able interest in him, in that he is not only a young Man of promise, and is en deavoring to do a good work in dissemi nating the principles and benefits of tem ,erance, but that he is a relative, and we therTefor commend him to the kind ly interest of our numerous friends. Subscriptions to the Advocate will be taken at this office. The higration Scheme. We publish, ini another column, Gen 'J. C. Butler's letter,in answer to nume reus inquiries made to him as to the de tails and objects of this scheme which is attracting no little interest and attention. To the reader not yet acquainted with the objects designed, and the plans .pro posed to carry them out, we commend a perasal of the letter, and also refer them to the adverti ement elsewhere. We have already publishn several notices of this popular gift enterprise and a large majority of our peopTe are pretty~ well posted, and are taktng a pat in it .with commendable alacrity and zeal. As the time is rapidly drawing to a close within which tickets may be obtained, we again call attention, that no one. may miss: a '-banee through a miseonception of either its plans or merits~. We are pleased to add in connection that Maj. W. F. Nance, 'f Neawberry, is acting as agent, and will give anyr hr:fcrnation on the subject de Negrees Play.ir.g Zu Elux On Saturday night, the 1st inst., a had4 artned negroes in Barnwell n-unty, approached the house of -Mr. Red, near Silver Bluff, and fired a volley into the house, instantly killing Mr. Thos. Low, a friend .and visitor at the house, and seriouzsly wo.untding Mr. Red and two ladies of the family. After this T,arderous attack, the fiends retired to their fastn,essc, and, though called upon to surrender, have up to this time (with the exception of two who are securely :odged in jail) defied arrest at the hands of the proper offBeers of the law. The a';eged c4Wenee which provoked this bloody attack is said, by one of the no groes arrested, to have been caused by Mr. Red and the other white man accus nga negro of theft, and threatening him witmh punis.hment. This i.. another effe'ct of radical teach i:g atnd carp'et hag example, which tell the negroes that every white mnan, a,ns t:ve of the State, is inimical to their intir .ut, and furth.r, that they belong to the Kai Klux organiz.ation. and that. retalia non must follow. Would that there was a Ku Klu.x of such power and force, and with an arm so long, that every ras -ai ina the land might be reached and, oraged1 from his s- cret hiding place, ecourged till he should be forced to ac knoowkdge his sins and repen't.

The following card sent us for i,ubli cation, shows that fourteen sensible col ored men, d:sgusted with the-re!zults of radicalism, have tifned from the error of their way : A CARD. We, the undersigned, at length seeing the folly of pinniog ouirfaith to the rad ical party, and-convinced that a course so much in opposition to all that is right and honest, and which in the end will work out our own ruin, (our true interests being wholly identified with the honest white people of the State,) from this time wish it known far and near, among our colored fellow-citizens, as well as the white people, that we will not tie to the radical party any longer, or believe any more of their lie.,. The desertion of our leader-Mr. D. R. Phi fer-who promised so much and per. formed so little, was the greatest bless ing which could have befallen u. ; it had the effect of opening our eyes. We are satisfied now, that though pretend lg to be our friend, he was our worst enemy, and that ho was all the time working for his own self interest; and had he continued true to his party, and we to him, we would have bedn doing injury to ourselves and the country. The true policy of the colored man is to cut loose from carpet-baggers and thieves, and join hands with white native, honest citizens; in furtherance of which, we hereby sign our names : R. Rice, Tom Johnson, Allen Rice, John Sims, Alexander Bird, Wade Saunders. Win. Joiner, Starling Johnson, Ward Saunders, Rufus King, James eCracken, Edmund Ray, Gi iffin Bird, John Jonen. Nathan Rice. Newberry County, July 7. A High Compliment The Charleston News, of the 24th, con tains the following complimentary notice of the "Policy-holders' Life and Tontine Association of the South." It is a just tribute to a properly-managed insti tution: '-The New York Undertr: iter and General Juint Stock Register, for May, has been laid on our desk. Among its items of interest to the life insuring public, we notice the arrual report of the President of the 'Policy- Holders' Life and Tontine Assurance Company of the South.' The publication of this re port by that j,-urnal was, we learn, en tirely voluntary, and therefore, it is a compliment which should be, and no doubt is highly appreciated by the officers and trustees of the company, be cause, as it may fairly be assumed, the plans and practice of the company, as de tailed in the report, meet the approval of its editors; and approval from such rtcognized authority in life insurance is no smafl commecndation. "It has been too much the practice of Northern insurance journals to decry. any and every effort to establish South ern life companies, but the Underwriter, of New Yo: k, has, by this pnblication, given evidence of having risen above such pretty prejudice, and of its desire to give publicity to such principles and practice in life assurance as meet its ap proval,.wbether found South or North. of Masons and Dixon's line. We are pleas ed to see this implied recognition of the merits of this young company, not only becadse we believe the company enti-tled to it, but because we believe it will give confidence to timid people, some of whom may be found in every community, who may have witbheld support from the company until now, instead of aiding its earliest Efforts at establishment. 'fThe support of this company will, in a measure, supply a want wbich has pr-e vent,ed 'a more speedy recuperation in all the 'departments of industry, to wit : Capital. Codld the aggregate amount of life insurance premiums sent out of the State since the war have been retained for investment in it, we feel assured the sum would be more than the aggregate of the banking capital now et1sploycd in it. Comment is unnecessary. Wobave nothing to say against the agencies that. supplied a want we could not supply, but now that we can offer the assuring public a home company, entitled to their confdence, let assurants by every mo-I tive of Amnor Patriie give the Policy-I Holders' Company the support it de This is the only Assurance Gompan in the State and should receive the pa tronage of our people. Mr. R. L. Mc tangbrin is one its Trustees and Mr. S. Furman is its agent at this place. Thu Srtn.AY Scuooz, WORKER, pub lihed by J. W.

Sit: Having received a number of let ters from friends in different parts of the -ountry, making inq=iretinto *edetails t and o1jects of our schie iid of im- 11 migration into South Carolifa, I pro- tA pise,,rth +ouir,perission, 'asbii-ey as t: P, t0' answer bem through the r medium of vourcolvmns. In-the first plie, experience has shown hat individuala- have not succeeded in d bringIng in itbtnigrants to any exitent. f in the second place, efforts have been I Aitherto directed to procuring mere la- V :orers, and not to introducing actual set- c lers to become owners oA the soil. Our purpose is, by means of an association thorougbly organized and well managed, to obtain large tracts of land and estab ish at least four colonies in the eastern, western, middle and northern portions oft he State respectively. Our iffort will be by locating these colonies in healthy districts, by selling small fartas to actual ;ettlers at low prices, and on long credits, , nd by uwing our personal influence to have the colunists assisted and kindly treated by the neighbors; to make these aettlements the nucleus of a prosperous ind ever increasing immigrant popula tion, who in their turn will add to the ealth and secure the prosperity of the State. ( If we can succeed in this, the problem Af increasing the population of South Carolina, and indeed, of the whole South, to any extent is solved. We have vast areas 'of land capable of very high and remunerative cultivation that are now lying waste, and but so much dead capi tal. They need to be divided, and diver sified industry should be substituted for i the destructive system of the few last years. We need a more intelligent, self reliant, thrifty laboring population, who will producu more of the necessaries of life, and less of the staple crops. Cotton is the best market crop that we can ever have, but should only be made af ter an ample supply of provisions for home consumption. But, to return from this digression.. To accomplish our ends as above set forth, we must have capital. To make anyting like a beginning from which practical results can be hoped for will re quire $200,000. This amount we hope to realize from this scheme. It may be asked "How ?" I will indicate. We propose to sell 150,000 tickets at $5 each, making $750,000. Of this amount we will give in prizes $500,000, in manner as set forth in the list, the prizes being 2,405 in number, to be drawn for in the usual way. Of the remaining $250,000, after the expenses are deducted, we are pledged to give $10,000 to the State Agricultural and Mechanicnl Society, under whose auspices we are proceeding, and every cent of the balance to the in troduction of immigrants. That is the whole story. It. is proper for me to add that Mr. Chadwick has, with great lib erality, placed the "Academy of Music" at the disposal of the Association at what the building has cost him. I. am perfectly free to admit that the means adopted to raise the necessary funds are extraordinary, but so is the oc casion. This is not a lottery, as some appear to think, partaking though it does somewhat of its features; but a prject gotten up and conducted for a specifie purpose-a purpose which we1 regard as of the very last consequence1 to the best interests, uf the"State, and there to end. .If our enterprise is successful, a there is no-longer any -reason to doubt that- it] will -be,- backed as it is bymin' nof the highest social and ..business standing, Nor th as well as South, and cordially spported by the people waherever an, office has been op,ened, wre can intro duce into South Carolina in. the course of .twelve or eighteen months, several large colonies of actual settlers, place the State on the road to-prosperity and ac toal development, and. ultimately with her pro-perity reap for odrselvec a hand some re'rard, pecuniity and otherwise for our time and labor. We are now havidg prepared, at great trouble and expense, a pamphlet with ilstrations and maps, setting forth the advantages or Sou,th' Carolina, her agri cultural and mineral resources, her in-1 comparable water power, her genial climate, valuable products, .etc.,. etc.; in short, all such information as will be re quired by the immigrant. This book will be distributed throughout those por tions of the North and Europe from which we arc likely to obtain immigrants, and will of itself be worth to the State of South Carolina more than the amount of money which our people are likely to in we in our scheme. Thi. much, Mr. Editor, I have thought due to oongelves and to those who have< made inquirtes as to our intentions, as these matters could not be set forth in an1 advertisement. If persons should desire I anything further, we shall be most hap py to give them anty information in our po 'er. j Regretting that I have been compelled j to trespasa ao much upon your space, but hoping that the matter of this cow munication will not be without interest to your readers, I remain yours, very respectfully, M.

Pifer, as announced, gave no - regular, ietexamination,. but invited the parents- of he-Toung ladies, and friends of his school, o visit without ceremony and at any time, t md note the progress attained in the differ- I mt classes and studies. It was our privilege :o tpend there an hour or two in the early nonimng of Thursd:ty last, and listen to the tetitions, j ust as they are ordinarily con iuct -d on any and every other day,.and take 1 ,less-sre in saying that the hour was well tul profitably spent, and it affords us grati 1ction to testify to the ability displayed by :be teachers as well as the proficiency of the pupils. There are not a few bright minds in )oth, the primary cl>*sses, superintended by Hi;s Fanny Leavell, as well as in the more advanced classes, under Prof. Pifer, partica ar'y bright, and which give great promise I .orthe future; and the general aptness of the t whole school. gives indisputable evidence I ihat.these young ladies. and little girls are in t ;ood hands. Newberry can boast of alarger i aumber of intelligent and handsome girls tan any other town of its size in the State, ind Prof. P. no doubt is proud that he has 1 ;o many of this number under his training, ind prouder still that for diligence and mod- i st demeanor.they can rank with any of like i iumberin the cuunity. We do not mean i hs as an idle c:mpliment by any means, ( Jut express the sentiment in honest sincerity, f nd hope that when the school resumes its i mxercises there will be added to the number nany others of like character. GIGOLING.-One of the most unmeaning Ld provoking habits that a young lady can indulge in, is giggling. It is less essential to appiness, and less conducive to health, than any other idle habit they can acquire. knd it is surprising how accomplished some Df them are in it, and how long they can keep it up. We have known them to giggle by the hour, for a whole evening, retire to sleep in a giggle, and have heard them, as they wake up, commence just where they left off. Nor one word could they utter with out the everlasting giggle, giggle, giggle. They seemed to be composed entirely of it, so full were they. Look, speak, raise your figer to or at them, and they would break out in the same place. And it was neither a lack of sense, nor yet of education, but simply because they were full of abominable giggle. Positively. girls, it's shocking. We know men who have had as many sweet Leartsin their time-not at one time-as they had fingers and toes, who were forced to-relinqnish all, just becauwe they were no torious gigglers. Think of that. Nine men out of ten would as soon face a chassepot, as a bevy of giggling girls, and they are right. There is not the slightest harm or indelicacy in indulging in a good honest laugh occa sionally. Mfost men like it, and marrying men are attracted by a ringing laugh in the happiest manner. There is magic and music in a hearty laugh, tat your little-short-ever coming-ad-never-know-when-it-will-subside cackles, will bring on a condition of fidgets, and a I-wish-I-were-out-of-this-feeling, quick er than aught else we know of. Stop it, girls. Some of you may think or say, "listen to the old fogy, and it's none of his business any how," that is, if you can stop the giggle ong enough to atter a sentence of such length, but when you grow older, and gain greater experience, you will find th'Mt the Herald was telling a wholesome truth. A little of it may be endured, but not too .S.Arme4l, -rH tL.ndUorr.-To relieve- the ,lmost general anxiety felt in regard to U.be h'ealtli of the elephant, in possession of the Star Troupe at this place, a.nd the pro.spect of his f-iture appearatyes, we are rejoiced to say'that we have been assured by his accom p]ishd and versatile trainer, Mons. lumn bug .Smith, that the public need be under. no apprehension, and that he and the entire trotipe ate pledged to keep him on his lege, no matter how.great the sacrifice, either pe cuiariiv or otherwise. That he did not look quite as stout on his second appearance as on ?he first, was owing to a concatena tion of fortuitous circumstances, which the management could not overcome at . that time. .The limited state of their treasury th expcnses naturally in getting up an en tertainment so various in merit being great er than their income, together with the or dinary as well as extraordinary drain, for rent. lights, and council tax, falling on them heavily-put them in a sore dilemma, and in consequence, Albert was more or less ne glected, and being a sensitive animal, and feeling the neglect as intentional, he pined and refused fits fodder for several days. Had money matters been easier, Albert would have swelled up and looked like his former self. Again, unlike Shakespeare's hero who was brought into the world "scarce half made up," Albert was ushered into daylight in full development and proportion, and con requently of mature mind, hence his peculiar sensitiveness. His keeper's troubles are his own as well; if one is low in funds the other is low in spirit. It is related that there have been boys who were never born, and never, in course, had any parients, but nevcr thus of an elephant till now. Naturalists will make note here. Albert was never born; he only got to be wvh-at he is, and stranger still, he is made tip of uncongenial and conflicting parts, and particularly Ii his legs ,-the front having no asfiinity with the hind, and each set disposed to move in the direction It suits them best, besides one set being longer than the other; and but for the untiring patience of Prof. Hi., the bowels cf Albert wouldoften be sadly deranged. This is another reason why he looked a little thin about the abdomi inal regions, and his feelings distressed. Anybody's feeling would be hurt under sim ilar circumstainces. All of these diffculties will be overcome, however, and though each member of the company is out of pocket severl dollars, they hope by fall to get their money back; they promise, too,that if the ani mal's legs show much contrariness, they will supply him with four men ones, of not only more uniform size, but if possible, ,earer akin. We trust this wi!l prove satisfactory to the public. ScAPs The reason why editors have their man ners spoiled Is because they receive so many evil communications from one correspondent or another. An Indiana man toolt laudanum, remark ing that he had an engagement with General Jackson at four o'clock. Active exercise on the part of a stomach pump caused the en gageent to be broken. The most expeditionLs way to spread the gospel is to place a minister on a vicious horse. The new style of ladies' hats sitery beau tiful.

EDITORS:-Thinking that per' iaps some of your readers would be pleased te o hear from Newberry College, which was an ormerly located in our town, -we send you sit he following account of the commence- sO neat exercises, which have just closed: ati We left Newberry on Monday morning, st, lune 2Gth, and after traveling a whole day, be ve arrived at Walhalla. the present location If >f the College. We found that ample pro- th rision bad been made for conveying visitors o the town, and having had a seat offered co s by a friend, we started for the Lutheran n 3hurch,where the first part of the programme 1Y 'or the week was about to be enacted. We ag rrived "just in time," and having found a fla eat, we listened with pleasure to the orations ge or the evening. We were delighted, and we cannot speak too highly of the manner a which the young men who addressed us, cquitted themselves. In a word, it was all te :hat could be wished or expected. After having stopped for a while to greet u >ld friends, whose familiar faces brought to nind many pleasant hours of by-gone days, we repaired to the house of the worthy President of the College, where we rested ind prepared ourself for the exercises of the bt next day. Tuesday came fresh and beauti- w rul, and everything seemed as if it was wait'. 0 ing the opening of the programme for the Jay. At 101 o'clock we repaired to the a Church, where we were addressed by the ,t Rev. J. Hawkins, who gave us a perfect of treat in the way of a speech. The speaker J, seemed full of his subject, and expressed a' himself in a most eloquent manner. No one t could have enjoyed it more than the Socie ties which he addressed. te At 8 o'clock, P. M., Mr. I E. Houseal, the tt efficient and highly resnected principal of t' the Preparatory Department of the College, p addressed the alumni association in a most di happy manner. We have been pleased with d, ti former add-esses from him, but nothing that h he has ever given us before could equal b what we heard on this occasion. All who v heard it spoke in the highest terms about it. On Wednesday, at half-past ten o'clock, a y very large audience had assembled to wit- a ness the ceremony of laying the corner stone c S of the College, by the Masonic fraternity. n Rev. W. S. Bowman, in an eloquent ad- i dress, demonstrated the power a nation ac- 1 9'-- aA ^#4^" ti quir-es from a universal christian education, te and for an hour held tbe delighted andience p as bjy a spell. After the address, they march- p ed ia procession to the College building,d whre'the corner stone wvas laid with the ti beautiful rites and ceretp->nies of the mystic u hant. Afterward, the cr~okd repaired to the W fnished rooms of the building, to partake T of a dinner given by tlie friends of the insti- si ttion for its benefit. That the ladies were cl at the head of affairs, I suppose will be suffi cient evidence that it was-nicely gotten up Besides the dinner, we could find the ladies at different plaes., ready to supply you with such goodies as ic'e cream, lemonade, cakes, el and ciyother good thing you could wish s: As the iewand of their labor they realized quite a sum, with which they intend to com, i plete the butilding. Th. ladies have been W fast friends of the College, and we can- 2 not bestow on them too great praise for di their efforts in its behalf. 4. On Thusrsday morning the Jnnior exhibi tion c.ame off, and all who attended ' were fully paid for their visit. Another's ren will appropriately relate the success of tue young men on this occasion, hence I am content with saying it was all that could be wished. T Thus closed the exercises of the week, and the President, after a few remarks of ir counsel to the young men, dismissed them ci until the first of next September. a But the pleasure of those who had crowded Walalla to witness the exhibition, was not - yet at an end. The young men bad gotten up an excellent supper for the occasion, and at the appointed hour a large crowd assem bled, to enjoy the restivities of the evening. Everything passed off quietly and to the sat ifaction of the whole crowd. We were struck with the quiet and peace of the town a: of WaIhalla. Although the town wa crowd ed during the whole week, no one was dis turbed by noise or rows, so common under such circumstances. This beek but told the state of affairs in the tow~n during the whole time. There is no place in the State where youn.g men are more free from temptation, and no institution can offer better induce ments to young men. Being situated in the S most healthy part of the State, surrounded R by christian influence, and managed by an able corps of professors, parents can send their boys there safely, expecting the very best resulte, The hopes of the friends of the College have been raised, and all are looking for ward to the time when it shall be looked up o to as one of the first in the land. She is now on a surer footing than at any time since the war, and we trust her struggles are p over. Waalhalla, and the friends of the ig- n stitution, may well be proud of her now, and B in a few years their hopes and expectations will be fully realized. PHI. The Rev. T. A.
